How do I reference the values of the array in this block:
notify { ["bin", "etc", "lib", "man",
"src", "tmp", "var"] :
message => "jeff: $name"
}
i.e., what do I use in place of "$name"?
TIA,
Jeff

Now I tested this and can see that $name gets expanded to an empty string in his example, which I think is a bug. -- Marcin Owsiany <marcin@owsiany.pl> http://marcin.owsiany.pl/ GnuPG: 1024D/60F41216 FE67 DA2D 0ACA FC5E 3F75 D6F6 3A0D 8AA0 60F4 1216 "Every program in development at MIT expands until it can read mail." -- Unknown --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

It''s not a bug - $name is only set by defines.
